AI Contract Overview
The Government of Canada, through Public Works and Government Services Canada, is seeking information on the availability of warehouse and office spaces in Ottawa and Gatineau as part of a potential lease-purchase project targeting a minimum of 22,672 square meters of usable industrial space. This Request for Information, identified as DDR/RFI-2026-2, is designed to gather technical and operational data from property owners or developers to assess suitability for government use, with no pricing or contract award anticipated at this stage. Respondents must complete Annex A, an Excel-based form requiring detailed information on land and building characteristics, including property ownership, PIN or lot number, total land size, zoning classification, environmental assessments, utility access points, electrical capacity, ceiling heights, floor loading capacities, and infrastructure compatibility such as dock dimensions and vehicle clearance. Supporting documentation like site plans, topographical maps, easement records, building condition reports, and zoning by-laws must accompany the submission. The evaluation focuses on physical and logistical compliance with specified criteria, including minimum ceiling height of 10.0 meters over 11,500 square meters, floor load capacity of 1,586 kg per square meter, four interior loading docks capable of accommodating large tractor-trailers, and an exterior paved compound for four trailers. All properties must be located within the National Capital Region, and respondents must confirm their property meets municipal zoning requirements for industrial or light industrial use and is free from restrictive easements, encumbrances, or environmental hazards such as flood zones or landslide risks. Submission is required via the CanadaBuys portal by May 29, 2026, with all responses referencing the solicitation number and directed to Jasmine Dacier-Morissette, the designated point of contact. Aniko Consultants Inc. and Samson & Associates CPA/Consulting Inc. are serving as the fairness monitor for the process. No contract clauses, pricing details, payment terms, invoicing systems, or socioeconomic set-asides are included, as this is strictly an information-gathering exercise preceding any formal procurement. There are no page limits, formal weights assigned to evaluation factors, or established award basis, and no requirement for Unique Entity IDs, CAGE codes, or size certifications. The government retains full responsibility for inspection and acceptance, with evaluations conducted to determine whether the submitted properties meet the required specifications for potential later-stage lease or purchase negotiations.
